Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe admits quiet deadline day

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe says they enjoyed a quiet deadline day last Friday.

It was widely reported that Championship side Wolves had made a £15 million offer for Benik Afobe, which had been rejected by Cherries.

But asked if any offers had been received by the club on the last day of the window, Howe said: "We had no bids for any of our players."

Howe added: "I always said the window for us was never closed, although we did our business early. If there was something we could do to improve the squad, we would look at it.

"Ultimately, it was quite a quiet final day. There were no panics or snap decisions, we were very calm in what we were doing."
